LOng.Distance Riders.

A curious fact is brought to light by
Captain Dean Pitts valuable record of
"Long- Distance Rides" 1t is that the
men who were engaged in this severe
work seem to gain weight instead of
losing it. This is especially noticeable
in the case of Lieutenant Broadwood's
ride from Bangalore to Mysore, and
the care and thoroughness with which
that officers report has been drawn up
guarantee the figures to be perfectly re-
liable.
Out of the twelve men who made the
march only two lost weight by it; two
weighed in at the same weight as when
they started, and the remaining eight
had all gained. Now, it is well known
that men in hard training often go up
in weight. but this is popularity ac-
counted for on the ground that the su-
perfuous tissue they get rid of is re-
placed by heavier muscle.
The Mysore march, however, lasted
only two days, in which time no physi-
illogical change of the kind could have
been set up; and, moreover, the wealth
er cit was the 18th and 18th Of March,
is said to have been very hot. 1t must
be a despairing revelation to any man
who is thinking of "Banting" to find
that he may ride $50 miles in two days
under an Indian sun and camp diet
and yet become heavier. The same,
however, is the case with the men of
the Royal Artillery detachment, which
made the march from Compete to Jub-
bulpore, whose weights were also taken.
One or two men lost pound or two,
but the great majority gained, while
one man actually gained by stone. and
another by seven and half pounds. -

to this statement Judge A.. G. Haskell, at that

nection between the c., G.. & A. Railroad Com

two companies for the exchange of freight and
passengers, which arrangement it was regard
cd to the interest of his company TO make, but

BLACKS August 81 am reliably in
formed that the manager of the Charles
ton, Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad is
having a train of superior coaches built
for that road, somewhat on the style Of the
Mann Boudoir, but much superior in ma
terial and workmanship. The means of
ventilation are different and far better
than any coach in existence, rendering 1T
exceedingly comfortable and dust proof.
There is one commendable feature about
this road; it delights in utilizing the fruits
of the inventive genius of American
minds, and never thinks it enough tohave
solved the problem started by another
mind, till it has deduced from it a corrol-
larry of its own.

communication could be opened between
the valleys on the Atlantic slope and those
on the Pacific side. This would shorten
the distance between Denver in Colorado,
and Salt Lake City in Utah, and conse-
quently the distance between the Missou-
ri river, say at st. Louis, and San Francis
CO, nearly 800 miles, and there would be
little more required in the way of ascend
ing, or descending, or tunneling noun
tains. Part of the work has already been
accomplished. The country from the Mis-
souri,, to the foot of the Rockies rises gradu-
ally in rolling prairie until an elevation is
reached of $500 feet above the sea level.
The Rockies themselves rise at various
places to a height exceeding 11,OOO feet.
Of the twenty most famous passes, only
seven are below 10, 900 feet, while five are
upward of $4,000, and one is $4,000 feet.
The point from which it is proposed to
tunnel is sixty miles due west from Den

peaks, it is by far the narrowest in the

The drought previously reported in the
corr belt in the central valleys has been
followed by general rains, and the condi-
lions existing this morning indicate that
rain will continue in this section; but the
reports from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mis-

rains came too late to cause a marked i'm

The weather has been generally favora-
BILE for all crops in the States on the Allan
